New project - new to this.
Just bought my first Minor 1098cc 1966 who we are calling Junior.
Underside is good, going to Waxoyl it.
Tyres to be replaced.
Body not bad.
Interior is rough, managed to clear out the mouse nest from the back seat, which now needs repadding/replacing.
I will provide updates if you're interested.
Hopefully I won't ask too many stupid questions and can get advice from you all when needed

This is Sunday's work; a second coat of color on the '57. Not perfect by a long shot, but it will do for me.

I've just sent you a PM, as I'm 99% certain that you've got a Dual Personality Minor. If that is indeed the case, we love to have it logged on the Dual Personality register please.

Hello.there thankyou will take a look on laptop

It was on Mm membership prior to my ownership guess from a chap who had it in Cwmbran south wales
He had or paid for loads to be done but the rot was ignored and it was dangerous so im led to believe his family got him to pass it on
Usual sills spring hangers etc
Loads more to be done but i have got it usable
It will never be a show car but functional and safe
Hopfully be a keeper as i have had to part with too many vehicles in past
